The exercise:Write two haiku about: slivers.Caught up on some of the comment backlog this morning. I'm getting there, slowly but (somewhat) surely.Had a chiro appointment this afternoon, where I discovered that my chiropractor will be retiring at the end of the month. She's got a young couple getting ready to take over her practice though, so that's good. I've got one more appointment before she's done, then I'll be in their hands.Just a few local orders to deal with tomorrow, so hopefully it won't be too hectic of a day.Mine:A sliver of truth?I'm certain that you left onearound here somewhere...* * *These invisiblewood daggers pepper my poorfingers with fierce glee

I think you're more caught up on the comments than you have been in a few months, so you're doing well! You're even ahead of the Dream Kingdom prompt so you can pick that up whenever you're ready :)Will you meet these new chiropractors before you end up (literally) in their hands?I think I like your first haiku slightly better today though it's a tough choice. I really like the image the first one conjures, but the second one makes me laugh since I bought a rolling-pin (here in Kiev) recently as it was just a little rough in places and I did pull a splinter off it before I started using it.

The "Rules"

One: If you do the daily practice please feel free to share it in the comments - the best part of this concept is seeing the different places people go from the same starting point. I do my best to leave some feedback on all comments.

Two: Anyone can write. Everyone should. So write!

Three: This is daily writing practice. Practice. Not daily writing perfection. So let loose and write!

Four: Write for five minutes, an hour, all afternoon, whatever works. Just write!

Five: There are no deadlines. In fact, I love being surprised by a take on a prompt that's a few days old!

About Me

I'm a 39 year old writer, farmer, and father to two boys living in Osoyoos, BC, Canada.
What do I write? Poetry, short stories, children's books, and I now have first drafts finished for two novels.
Why do I write? Because not writing isn't an option. I get antsy if I get close to the end of a day without having written something.
Daily Writing Practice is my main blog - come have a visit, won't you?
